Distinctive Ringing - Avaya Partner Administration Manual

12.3 Distinctive Ringing

Use this feature to determine whether calls should ring at a tip/ring extension using the system's different distinctive
ringing patterns for outside, intercom and transferred calls or whether all calls should ring like outside calls.
· Change the setting to Not Active if a tip/ring device such as a modem or answering machine does not pick up
intercom or transferred calls.
· If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension with both a system telephone and a tip/ring device, the
system telephone continues to use the system's distinctive ringing patterns, but all calls ring at the tip/ring device
using a single ring burst.
